高产作家 James Patterson 的 Cross 系列又出新著 Double Cross ，这一次我们的主角 Alex Cross 将直面华盛顿两大杀人狂。 离奇命案震惊华盛顿，即使是 Alex Cross 和他的新欢 Brianna Stone 侦探都对此闻所未闻。对于自己的行为成为城市的焦点，凶手非但豪不在乎还对此乐此不疲。

同时，另一个杀人魔王 Kyle Craig 竟然离奇的从科罗拉多戒备森严的监狱里越狱而出，立誓要找 Alex Cross 报仇。如果，这两个家伙合伙，华盛顿将面临空前绝后的危机....

Just when Alex thought his life was calming down into a routine of patients and therapy sessions, he finds himself back in the game--this time to catch a criminal mastermind like no other.

A spate of elaborate murders in Washington D.C. have the whole East Coast on edge. They are like nothing Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. With each murder, the case becomes increasingly complex. There's only one thing Alex knows: the killer adores an audience.

As victims are made into gruesome spectacles citywide, inducing a media hysteria, it becomes clear to Alex that the man he's after is a genius of terror--and he's after fame. The killer has the whole city by its strings--and he'll stop at nothing to become the most terrifying star that Washington D.C. has ever seen.
